O Diário de Esther

Set against the vivid backdrop of contemporary Brazil, O Diário de Esther is an ongoing comic series from Gradiva that chronicles the intimate, slice-of-life diary of its titular character. Since its 2019 debut, the series has been defined by the sensitive, everyday storytelling of its creator, capturing the small joys and struggles of a young woman navigating family, friendships, and self-discovery. While its run is still unfolding, the series stands out for its authentic, diary-style narrative and its quiet, human-scale focus within the broader landscape of Brazilian comics.
